What you envisioned was a home with a guest room, a home office, a play area, and an exercise space. What you didn’t anticipate was that you’d only have one extra room in the house to make all of these things work. Multipurpose rooms are becoming more and more popular for the dynamic family, but they do take finesse if you want to avoid the mess. Here are some of the ways that custom closet solutions from DCC can help you design a functional, organized multipurpose room.
Guest Room Swap-Out Storage
Whether you’re using a day bed, a murphy bed, or a pull-out couch, you’re going to need a place to store the linens and pillows that will only be in use on occasion. You’re also going to need space for guests to store their clothing and luggage during their stay. With custom solutions, you can create shelves or pull-out drawers that are the perfect size for all that bedding. Remove the bedding to make up the guest bed and that storage can now double as a makeshift dresser for your guests.
Closed Shelving for Toys and Games
Your kids may also be using this room to play and learn in when guests aren’t staying with you. If there’s one thing you know about kids, it’s that they tend to have a lot of stuff that they want easy access to, and not a lot of patience for cleaning up. Plus, all those games and toys can be visually overwhelming, especially if you use the room during the day for work. Closed shelves with pull-out racks or baskets are the perfect solution because they’re easy for your kids to use and they instantly hide all that clutter.
Hidden Filing Cabinets
You may be a little better at cleaning up after yourself than your kids, but that doesn’t mean you want this multipurpose room to look like an office even when it’s being used for something else. Plus, it’s a lot easier to stay productive when things are exactly where you need them to be. By using closet storage to create an office, you can design desk space that aligns aesthetically with the rest of your furnishings. Rather than the clunky metal filing cabinets, you can hide your office paperwork behind beautiful cabinet facings.
Closet Compartments for Exercise Gear
Exercise equipment is often one of the hardest things to account for when creating an organizational system for a multipurpose room. After all, how do you hide something bulky like an exercise ball? How do you make sure that it’s easy to store and retrieve heavy equipment like a walking pad? In this case, the easiest option is to create closet space outside of the existing closet for all other items, leaving the existing closet open for all that exercise gear. Customized shelves, racks, and peg boards can be added for any smaller equipment, like jump ropes, hand weights, and even workout clothes.
